Abstract
An aggregate vane assembly includes a core vane assembly encircling a central longitudinal axis and having a plurality of core vanes each extending radially between an inner hub and an outer band. The aggregate vane assembly also includes a bypass vane assembly disposed on a radially opposite side of the outer band relative to the plurality of core vanes. The aggregate vane assembly also includes a splitter ring positioned proximate to the first forward end. The aggregate vane assembly also includes at least one retention plate overlapping a forward end of the at least one bypass vane along the central longitudinal axis and also overlapping at least a portion of the splitter ring along the central longitudinal axis.
